AI Prompts for Photographers: Shoot Concepts, Client Comms & Editing
AI won't replace your camera, but it will kill the dead time around a shoot — moodboards, client emails, pricing, captions. Here's how photographers actually use AI, with copy-paste prompts for each part of the job.
Midjourney vs Flux: Which Is Better for AI Portraits?
Midjourney makes the prettier image; Flux makes the more believable one. Here's the real difference between the two for portraits — realism, prompt accuracy, control — with the same prompt run both ways and a clear verdict.
Use the attached image as facial reference. Preserve the model's exact face, skin tone, bone structure and features accurately throughout. A young woman stands in a dense red poppy field. The camera is positioned at ground level — lying flat on the earth between the poppy stems — pointing directly upward at approximately 80 degrees. The poppies rise around the camera on all sides, their translucent scarlet petals backlit against a clean cerulean sky, forming a natural radial canopy. The woman is positioned at the centre of this canopy, looking down directly at the lens. POSE: She leans forward slightly from the waist, her weight on her left foot, right foot relaxed behind. Her right arm extends directly downward toward the camera, her open palm facing the lens at approximately 40cm from it — close enough that the hand fills one third of the lower frame, the fingers relaxed and slightly spread. Due to the extreme upward angle, her extended hand is in sharp focus while her face, positioned further back, is also sharp — this dual sharpness is intentional and critical. Her left hand rests loosely at her side. Her chin is angled downward, eyes looking directly into the camera — full direct gaze, soft and present. Her expression is warm, slightly playful — as if she is offering something. COSTUME: [A sky-blue off-shoulder sundress in lightweight cotton], the neckline sitting just off both shoulders. The fabric catches the strong overhead daylight cleanly — no sheen, pure matte cotton blue against the scarlet and green surrounding it. SETTING: Layer 1 (extreme foreground): Two to three large red poppy heads at the very bottom edge of frame, 10-15cm from the lens — petals translucent and glowing in the backlight, almost stained-glass in quality, stems rising vertically on both sides of the frame Layer 2 (mid canopy): Eight to twelve poppy heads at varying heights surrounding the woman's body — all backlit, all translucent scarlet against blue sky, stems thin green verticals creating natural framing lines Layer 3 (sky background): Clean cerulean blue sky with no clouds — pure saturated blue that reads as a color field behind the poppy canopy LIGHTING: Direct overhead summer sun — harsh, clean, saturated. It does three things: first, it passes through the poppy petals turning them into glowing translucent scarlet panels — the petals are not opaque red, they are light-filled and luminous; second, it catches the top of her head and her extended hand with a clean bright highlight; third, it creates soft green-lit shadow on the stems and leaves — the only shadow in the frame is cool green from the foliage, never cold grey. The overall frame is bright and saturated — this is not a soft golden hour image, it is a clean midday summer image with full saturation. CAMERA: 16mm wide angle lens. Portrait orientation — 4:5 aspect ratio, taller than wide, composed so the sky and upper poppy canopy fill the top 40% of frame, the woman's face occupies the centre, and the extended hand with close foreground poppies anchors the bottom 30%. Camera flat on the ground, pointing straight up at 80 degrees. Subject 1.5 metres above the camera. f/4.0 — both the extended hand at 40cm and the face at 1.5m remain in acceptable focus due to the wide angle depth of field. The extreme upward perspective creates intentional foreshortening on her extended arm — the hand appears large relative to her face. This distortion is the composition, not an error. The poppies must be translucent in the backlight — not flat opaque red. The sky must be fully saturated cerulean. The hand must appear large in frame relative to her face. The overall feeling is joyful, slightly surreal, summer-saturated. Ultra-photorealistic. Editorial portrait standard. 16mm, f/4.0, natural film grain, 4:5 portrait ratio.
